Endorsement deals for various companies have been a part of professional sports long before Michael Jordan, Lebron James and Mike Trout became ubiquitous on TV ads and magazine tabloids. The Major League's first African American player, Jackie Robinson used to tout Bond Homogenized Bread back in 1947 during his rookie campaign. This scarce series has a miniscule population on PSA's pop report of less than 300 and is one of the most coveted examples of Jackie Robinson in the hobby.
Offered here is a PSA EX 5 crystal clear portrait of the color barrier breaking legend on his Bond Bread rookie with a facsmile autograph streaking across the bottom right quadrant. A true rarity for any advanced collection.
